Is it safe to have one of these inside a travel humidor inside a checked baggage on the plane?

i can tell you that it is a plastic tube filled with some kind of absorbant globules of gel. the top fits securely in the tube. the plastic is like a plastic soft drink bottle. it could definitely be squashed with a small amount of pressure. but if you had it in a travel humidor, i dont think it would leak...it holds maybe a couple of table spoons of water...and it works well. keeps my small humidor at exactly 70% humidity.

it's a solution of propylene glycol and water. i haven't taken one on a plane, so i'm not 100% sure. check with your airline, tsa, faa, homeland security, all those other bs agencies and if they don't say no that means its ok

Hi John; sorry to hear about your problem. I suspect, that you have a humidor; with a larger capacity. In my humidor, with a capacity of 150 cigars; I have four of these and my humidity is between 68 and 70%. A second thought; was to ask, if you replaced the shipping caps with the perforated ones supplied. I have had guys ask, why I broke the seal on the caps. You have to, to put on the perforated caps. Moisture is supposed to pass through the tubes' body; but I suspect most of the moisture passes out, through the perforated caps. I don't know if my comments will help; but I sure hope they will. Let me know, if you can. George Hi John; sorry to hear about your problem. I suspect, that you have a humidor; with a larger capacity.

I don't think you'd WANT to take a previously opened can of fluid in your luggage--it would leak. You can however wait till you get where you're going and buy the fluid in the cigarette section of any grocery store.

That doesn't matter really. You want to keep your cigars at right aroun 70% him itty which is the moisture level from the cigar factory. I've keep mine between 68% and 72%. I've seen no difference either up or down. Mine actually broke after 5 years (pretty good 24/7) and I didn't realize it til weeks later. Cigars were still perfect! And they were $300/box Cubans.

They are an AGM and totally sealed. I would think that it would be okay inside but I really do not know. I would check with Exide to make sure to be on the safe side.

I have purchased two of these, one for each of my humidors. They are fantastic! Never had a problem. Use distiller water in them.

There is a pack within a pack. The outside pack is moisture proof and keeps the chemicals from drying out. Taking off the outer pack, the inner pack is not moisture proof - so the moist granules inside can permeate the holder and keep your reeds moist. The back of my outer pack have instructions to tear the foil and remove the inner pack to 'activate' the inner pack. Rico (or someone) places a high tax on these packs - you can get packs the same size from cigar stores (in fact Rico packs at one time were supplied by a vendor that also made cigar humidor supplies). I get them pretty cheaply from Amazon (or the online store that has 'bay' somewhere in the title). There is a pack within a pack.

Well everything will do ok if you put them in your bags that go into the airplane but the co2 i think youll have trouble with specially that is flammable and the airplane company will see it as a threat.

I traveled with mine in my checked luggage, no problems! Follow the directions included and you're good to go.

In my experience traveling, TSA seems to know all about the "stuff" us diabetics have to carry. I never have had a problem with TSA. So yes put it in your hand luggage. I always put my insulin protector case in a sealable plastic "Baggie" just in case it sweats through the case. It has not done that put I do it just as a precaution.

In my short experience, humidors typically claim the ability to hold more than they actually can comfortably; my humidor is a 100 count that realistically holds ~60 cigars. This particular humidifier has been overkill in my humidor (read: has done an excellent job, but occasionally needs to be turned off periodically after refills until the unit settles into the proper RH range), I think it would handle any humidor with a decent seal up to 500 count or so without any difficulty. Hope this helps with your decision.

Depends on your situation. I have the lock so the contents of my luggage won't spill in the event of a tear. TSA opened my bag up on my last trip which is why it's a requirement for checked luggage to have only TSA approved locks on bags.

I would say yes, but you may want to place the contents inside a zip lock bag inside the box just to be on the safe side.

Can't take it on the plane as carry on but no problem with checked in luggage as told by TSA. Tried it with a cheap crimper and got confiscated. No big lost.

I have 2 of these in my humidor with around 15 cigars and mine is a constant 60%. I thought maybe I have leaks in the humidor but maybe it's the drymistats

I know of no reason this would not be allowed in carry on luggage. They might not like it in checked luggage though.http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct;=j&q;=&e;src=s&source;=web&cd;=3&ved;=0CGcQFjAC&url;=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.faa.gov%2Fabout%2Foffice_org%2Fheadquarters_offices%2Fash%2Fash_programs%2Fhazmat%2Fpassenger_info%2Fmedia%2Ffaa_airline_passengers_and_batteries.pdf&ei;=IeWEU8j-E8y8oQSBnIKgDQ&usg;=AFQjCNF_FDnN8cHYYWSayTlXx4UjFjF9aQ&sig2;=hOHJEccAfQXxylDyXPor1w&bvm;=bv.67720277,d.cGU&cad;=rja

Definitely not, especially with how much airport security has beefed up. You could probably leave it in the checked luggage though.
